In reply to the discussion: KRUGMAN: I’m liking Obama more and more as he slogs through his second term. (Me Too!) [View all]Doctor_J
(36,392 posts)13. This is how a party, and a democracy, die
Krugman, who was recently a self-described liberal, has joined the cheering section for the president who supports fracking, drone murder, proftized education, health "care" that shovels a half trillion dollars a year to middle men and death panels, the union-busting, wage-killing TPP, and secret domestic spying.
Personality cults are very dangerous, especially when the stakes are so high. The soul of the party that gave us Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the Voting Rights Act, the War On Poverty has been ripped out. I sort of wish the DINOs would find something else to call themselves besides Democrats, because they're pissing on the graves of the real Dems
